How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- The chip or crack is filled, then sanded level with the bath.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We build up the finish and polish it into the surrounding enamel.
- Once it has cured, usually by the following day, the bath is ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

FAQs for Rockbeare
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How much does bath repair cost in Rockbeare?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How invisible is a bath repair?
We aim for a repair you can’t easily find. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes, we do this frequently. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Composite and resin
Composite baths are dense and solid. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour matched, in much the same way.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rockbeare
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave razors or cans standing in the bath
- Have new chips seen to early
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Cover the bath during DIY or decorating
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust sets in.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Each time it flexes, the crack grows, and it can start to leak underneath.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
People frequently assume a cracked or chipped bath has to come out. In most cases it doesn’t: a proper repair gives it years more use, without the cost and upheaval of replacing it. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Wear across the entire surface, which needs re-enamelling
- Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
- Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
